October 12, 2021 | Volume: 10 | Issue: 19

 

Happy Tuesday, AV pros and fans! We’re buckling up for a busy month full of LAVNCH & LEARNs and InfoComm prep! How has your week been so far?

Our first column this week is by a writer from SynAudCon and discusses audio and video control desks. We spend a lot of time thinking about tech, but what’s the best way to protect and set up our control systems? Richard Honeycutt has the answer and gives some great images to help you understand ways to protect and lay out your equipment for HOW services. From booth style to acoustical space, this piece is a good reminder for setting up control desks correctly.

Our second column is part two in a series about getting the job you want. In part 1, Michael Katz discussed what value truly means. This time around, he discusses leveraging your contacts, taking chances and keeping the attention of the person interviewing you. As we navigate the next steps in our industry, many of us are looking for new jobs inside and outside the HOW sector. This series is sure to be helpful as you look and apply.

The last column for this week is by James Kirby over at Futuresource! In our industry, microphones are a big piece of the HOW puzzle. It’s no surprise the microphone market took a huge hit during the pandemic. This article looks into what is driving the microphone comeback and where this growth could lead in the future.

That’s it for now! Don’t miss these great articles and news from DVDO, Barco, ClearOne and much more. I hope you have a great rest of your week, and I’ll see you next time! Bye!

COLUMNS

 

+ Things To Consider About Audio/Video Control Desks [Richard Honeycutt]

Living as I do in the heart of what was once a prime furniture-manufacturing country (before we exported that industry to China), I have often had difficulty talking clients into paying the price of a really good console to house their sound and video equipment. However, no client of mine who has gone ahead and bought an excellent console has ever expressed regret.

+ How to Get the Job You Want — Selling Your Value: Part 2 [Michael Katz]

By applying to places where I had contacts (aka champions), I was able to learn each company’s interview process. This was incredibly valuable. A piece of advice: Always leverage your contacts to join a company; it saves a lot of time and lowers stress.

+ Professional Microphone Market Back on Track After Year of Mixed Fortunes [James Kirby]

The professional microphone market experienced diverging fortunes in 2020. Some manufacturers struggled to satisfy accelerating demand, while others faced a market in freefall. That’s according to a new report from Futuresource Consulting, which reveals the data behind the highs and lows and forecasts the future opportunities.
